2015 Ford Ranger 2.2L Diesel · NO05 CLR

The vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthiness certificate from the pass recorded on 9 December 2025 at 99,915 miles, with no defects or advisories registered. That pass came just one week after a failure at 99,913 miles. The failure entry lists no recorded defects, which is unusual; it suggests either a clerical omission or a rapid rectification of something minor such as a bulb or tyre. Across the five MOT entries for this Ford Ranger, the maintenance trend is stable and clean, with every annual test from December 2022 through December 2025 resulting in a pass with a completely defect-free result, aside from that single December 2025 failure. The mileage pattern is unremarkable for an 11-year-old vehicle. The odometer climbed from 72,555 miles in December 2022 to 81,240 in December 2023, an 8,685-mile year, then to 89,655 by December 2024, an 8,415-mile year. The final period saw slightly heavier use, rising from 89,655 to 99,913 miles, a 10,258-mile accumulation. The two-mile gap between the failure and the re-test shows the fault was corrected and verified without further driving. The average of roughly 9,000 miles per year aligns closely with typical UK usage, implying steady daily use rather than prolonged standing. The absence of any advisories across the entire history is a positive sign, but it should not replace a physical inspection. For a 2015 Ranger approaching 100,000 miles, a prospective buyer should direct particular attention to the suspension bushes and coil springs, the rear brake calipers for binding, and the condition of the brake discs and pads. Corrosion is also a realistic concern on a vehicle of this age, so the chassis, sills, and load bed sub-structure merit close scrutiny even though no test flagged structural rust. The advisory-free failure is worth raising with the seller, as its defect was not recorded in the DVSA data. If the seller cannot identify what was rectified, the prudent step is to commission an independent vehicle inspection before purchase.
